Featuring all-mechanical design, Slip-Ease® S98CA7 Multi-Plate Clutches are commonly used for overload protection to prevent injury and machine failure. Slip plates are layered with friction pads, and adjusting nut sets slip torque by squeezing plates together. Outer plates are tabbed to fit into output housing and inner plates are connected to input hub, so that ends disengage from one another upon slipping. Compared to standard clutches, Slip-Ease models offer reduced backlash of about 2°.

Featuring outer plates tabbed to fit into output housing and inner plates connected to input hub, all-mechanical S98CA7-… series is commonly used for overload protection and can also be used in such applications as tension control and positioning retention hinges. Slip plates are layered with friction pads in-between, and adjusting nut sets slip torque. Recesses for tabs of outer slip plates are cut such that tabs lie in plane with housing, promoting tight fit to lower backlash.

Occupying ¾ in. dia footprint, EAO 12 and EAS 12 offer torque ranges up to 10 lb-in. as well as smooth, reliable breakaway and continuous slip. Both of these bi-directional clutches, available in fixed, adjustable, and custom designs, feature life expectancy of 20–30 million revolutions in slip condition and do not require lubrication. Housing design is optimized for durability using tabs and slots. Stainless steel options are available.Read More

PRECI-FLEX® lets Nakamura CNC turning centers float away misalignment between turret drive motors and toolholders, promoting smooth operation, surface finish quality, and tool life. While resulting precise alignment reduces vibration and tool chatter, other benefits include elimination of wear to turret drive motor connections and elimination of backlash as result of complete fit around drivetrain of motor. Clutch also lessens severity of damage that can occur as result of machine crash.

Able to be operated as clutch only or clutch brake to accommodate varying applications, Size 30 Posidyne® dynamically accelerates or decelerates high-inertia loads without wear on friction discs. Product functions without requiring any regular maintenance intervention during its 40,000,00-cycle design life, while Oil Shear Technology lends to smooth and quiet acceleration/deceleration. Actuation media to move product's piston can be air or hydraulic pressure.

Available in EWA versions for oil-immersed application or EDA units that run as dry friction clutches, Model HC/CH features key seal that allows for use of standard O-rings and facilitates installation in current configurations using double keyway and single drilled actuation hole. Forced oil-cooling provisions accommodate high-energy engagements, and Disc-Pac cores are designed using extra heavy plate thicknesses. Hubs, manufactured from alloy steel, include induction-hardened teeth.

Available in 10 sizes from 10-960 lb-ft, SMC series engages any time power is released. Power is only required when clutch needs to disengage, and series can also be used as standby or creep drives. Standard coil voltage is 24, but modified voltages are available. Also, bore sizes can be modified to meet application requirements. Areas of use include construction elevator, machine tool, and industrial machinery applications or when manual backup system/override is required.

Industrial clutch and brake V series, available with silent armature, accommodates applications in medical and entertainment industries, where extraneous noise is problematic. Attached to back side of armature, dampening material absorbs clicking sound from clutch or brake engagement. Clutches and brakes come in 6 sizes, from 4.5-150 lb-ft torque, and have standard operating voltage of 24 Vdc. Various DC coils can be made available, and bore sizes are offered in metric or inch.

Intended for torques up to 280,000 Nm, EAS®-element large disengaging torque limiting clutches are designed with curved tooth couplings for connection of 2 shafts. Products transfer torque using positive locking during normal operation. On overload, they separate input and output nearly free of residual torque. Kinetic energy from rotating masses stored in system can slow down freely, eliminating possibility of automatic re-engagement.

Comprising 9 models, Mach III industrial clutches ensure torque transmission in absence of air pressure or during power-off conditions. Regular- and heavy-duty models offer fixed torque transmission from 506-24,375 lb-in. and release when air pressure is applied to overcome spring pressure. Mounted at end of shaft, clutches include finished pilot to facilitate mounting of sprocket or pulley and are made to order with bore and keyway sizes specified by end-user for 0.625-3.5 in. shafts.

Available in 11 sizes ranging from 10-42 mm in diameter by 15-30 mm long, BHFL One-Way Clutches support torques from 1.76-121 Nm. Designed to operate on end of shaft, units feature ball bearings on both ends to provide support for radial loads. Clutches allow free spinning in one direction, while locking in other direction to prevent reverse rotation. Providing smooth, frictionless operation, clutches are used in assembly of products, machinery, and other motor-driven devices.

Available on Models 3547, 3548, and 3549, slip clutch option is designed as safety feature that helps prevent damage to potentiometer in applications where full travel is used. Internal design does not alter physical dimensions of component and allows potentiometer to idle at extreme clockwise or counter-clockwise ends without damage to stops. Potentiometers with slip clutch offer solution for mechanized or machine-to-machine applications such as linear actuators and mechanical position sensors.

Adjusted in factory for proper operation, EAS®-Sensor Safety Clutch features integrated limit switch that detects disengagement motion of clutch in case of overload and transmits signal wirelessly to base station connected to machine controller. Transmitter of unit, including power supply, is entirely contained in torque adjustment nut, and reports operating state of clutch at regular intervals, along with information on supply voltage level.

In addition to overload protection, an increase in machine speed can be obtained by inserting slip clutch into system. Friction surfaces result in static friction being less than dynamic friction, which cushions suddenly applied loads. Tension on paper, wire film, and thread is gradually applied and is half of suddenly applied load. Machine itself will also be cushioned from shock, elongating life for parts and tooling.
